POETRY, PIES, & BEYOND - 6 workshops - £180 per person*
the much awaited follow-up course to MAKING PIES
PIES refers to a person's Physical, Intellectual, Emotional, and Spiritual self. Poetry often acts as a unifying 'glue' leading to a greater sense of wholeness.
Six intensive sessions are designed to result in a core of themed work aimed at publication. Participants have the option to have their work published in the City of Poets TEXTures series of 32 page full-colour booklets. Illustrations can also be included.
Decisions have to be made, collegiate advice is available, as well as guidance from the course leader. The pace is fast, and work is required between sessions, from BOTH participants AND the workshop coordinator.
In addition to experiencing tasks involved in curating a collection, participants are also exposed to publishing and print processes.
Understanding editing, copy-editing, proof-reading, typesetting etc are key to a successful published career and equip a poet to be a good client that publishers favour working with.
